If there is sweat or liquid on the charging contacts, corrosion may occur on the earbuds. Clean the charging contacts and earbuds before storing the earbuds in the charging case.

Battery

Charge the battery Fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. The earbuds will power on while charging. When the battery is completely discharged, it needs at least 20 minutes to turn on.

The charging case, which has a built-in battery, is charged along with the earbuds. You can charge the earbuds by placing them into the charging case without connecting to an electric socket.

Charging head for plugging USB cable into wall outlet is not included. Use only Samsung charging devices rated with an output voltage of 5v and an output current of over 500mA (sold separately). Samsung accessories are designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage.

• You cannot use your earbuds’ wireless features while charging the battery.

• When there is sweat or liquid on the charging terminal or earbuds, clean them before charging the battery.

• If the earbuds and the charging case are completely discharged, it may take a while for them to start charging.

• If the earbuds and charging case are not charging properly, take them with the charger to a Samsung Service Center.

• Avoid bending the charger. Doing so may damage or reduce the lifespan of the charger. Never use a damaged charger.

• For more information about the battery, such as the usage time, refer to the Samsung website (samsung.com).

Use the Earbuds

Measure your heart rate Register the earbuds as a heart rate monitor (HRM) accessory on your mobile device’s S Health app and other compatible apps to measure and record your heart rate.

• This feature is intended for fitness and informational purposes only and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

• To measure your heart rate more accurately with the earbuds, wear the earbuds firmly in your ears. Refer to Wear the earbuds for more information.

Be aware of following conditions before measuring your heart rate: The accuracy of the information and data provided by this device and its related software, including heart rate readings, may be affected by factors such as environmental conditions, skin condition, specific activity performed while wearing the device, settings of the device, user configuration/user-provided information, placement of the sensor in the ear, and other end-user interactions. Please refer to the user manual for more information on proper wear and use, or see samsung.com/us/heartratesensor

• The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be diminished if the heart rate sensor does not make contact with your ear.

• Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.

• Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights.

• The amount of time required for the heart rate sensor to measure your heart rate may vary depending on measurement conditions and surroundings.

• Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.

• If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the earbuds so the heart rate sensor sits firmly against the insides of your ears. For example, rotate the earbuds slightly to the right, left, up, or down, and try measuring again. If that does not work, change the wingtip size and try measuring again.

• Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.

Use the Earbuds

• Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.

• Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy may vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as blood circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of blood vessels.

• If obstructions between the heart rate sensor and your ear, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects, prevent the light from reflecting evenly, measurements may be inaccurate.

• If the heart rate sensor is dirty, clean it before use.

• If the heart rate sensor is damaged, measurements may be inaccurate.

• If your earbuds become hot to the touch, stop measuring and remove them from your ears. Extended exposure of skin to hot earbuds can result in burns.
